Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gates, in particular to an automatic gate heating and deicing device. Background Art

[0002] To develop and utilize river hydropower resources, hydraulic structures are often constructed along rivers to control and manage water flow. Sluice gates (also known as gates) are control devices used to close and open discharge channels. They are a crucial component of hydraulic structures, serving to intercept water flow, control water levels, regulate flow, and discharge sediment and floating debris. Because gates are typically located underwater, freezing can occur in colder regions, particularly in northern my country. This freezing creates ice pressure on the gates, which varies with the thickness of the ice. When the ice pressure exceeds the gate's tolerance, it can damage the gate.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to reduce the damage caused by ice on the water surface to underwater structures, manual ice breaking is usually adopted, that is, manual de-icing is performed by hand or with simple tools. Although this method can relieve the pressure of the ice surface on the underwater structures, the efficiency of manual de-icing is low, and the ice will continue to form even after it is removed. Therefore, the labor intensity of the staff is greatly increased and labor is wasted. Therefore, we have introduced an automatic gate heating de-icing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an automatic gate heating and deicing device, which can not only continuously de-ice and prevent re-freezing after de-icing, but also has a high efficiency of heating and de-icing, reducing the labor intensity of the staff, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automatically controlled gate heating and deicing device includes a gate body, a water-stopping device, and a heating and deicing mechanism. The gate body includes a curved panel, and the inner wall of the curved panel is fixedly provided with a plurality of evenly distributed reinforcing ribs. The water-stopping device includes a top water-stopping mechanism, a side water-stopping mechanism, and a bottom water-stopping mechanism. The heating and deicing mechanism includes a control box, a mineral heat pipe, and a heating cable. The heating cable is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the curved panel, and a plurality of the mineral heat pipes are evenly installed in the top water-stopping mechanism, the side water-stopping mechanism, and the bottom water-stopping mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the top water-stopping mechanism includes a top elastic sealing strip, which is fixed to the inner side wall of the curved panel near the top elastic sealing strip by a top bolt.

[0008] Furthermore, the side water-stopping mechanism includes a side elastic sealing strip, and the side elastic sealing strip is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the curved panel near the side elastic sealing strip by side bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom water-stopping mechanism includes a bottom elastic sealing strip, and the bottom elastic sealing strip is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the curved panel near the bottom elastic sealing strip by bottom bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, a temperature sensor and a temperature controller are provided in the control box.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating cables are evenly arranged between a plurality of reinforcing ribs.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating cable is installed on the curved panel in a serpentine manner.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] This automatic gate heating and deicing device includes a curved panel, reinforcing ribs, a top elastic sealing strip, top bolts, a mineral heat pipe, side elastic sealing strips, side bolts, a bottom elastic sealing strip, bottom bolts, heating cables, and a control box. When the ambient temperature drops below zero, varying degrees of ice will form on the top, side, and bottom water stops. When a temperature sensor in the control box detects that the ambient temperature is below zero, the temperature sensor immediately sends a signal to a temperature controller, which controls multiple heating cables to generate heat. The heat generated by the heating cables is transferred through the curved panel to the top, side, and bottom water stops, where multiple evenly distributed mineral heat pipes circulate heat. In the evaporation section of the mineral heat pipe, the working fluid in the tube core evaporates due to the heat, carrying away heat, which is the latent heat of evaporation of the working fluid. The vapor flows from the central channel to the condensation section of the heat pipe, condensing into liquid while releasing latent heat. Under the action of capillary force, the liquid flows back to the evaporation section. In this way, a closed cycle is completed, thereby transferring a large amount of heat from the heating section to the heat dissipation section, so that the de-icing work at the top water-stop mechanism, the side water-stop mechanism and the bottom water-stop mechanism can be completed quickly. Not only can de-icing be carried out continuously to prevent re-freezing after de-icing, but the efficiency of heating de-icing is also high, reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 6 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] The automatic control gate heating and deicing device includes a gate body, a water-stopping device, and a heating and deicing mechanism. The gate body includes a curved panel 1. The inner wall of the curved panel 1 is fixed with a plurality of evenly distributed reinforcing ribs 2. The water-stopping device includes a top water-stopping mechanism, a side water-stopping mechanism, and a bottom water-stopping mechanism. The heating and deicing mechanism includes a control box 11, a mineral heat pipe 5, and a heating cable 10. The heating cable 10 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the curved panel 1. Multiple mineral heat pipes 5 are evenly installed in the top water-stopping mechanism, the side water-stopping mechanism, and the bottom water-stopping mechanism.

[0025] The top water-stop mechanism includes a top elastic sealing strip 3, which is fixed to the inner wall of the curved panel 1 near the top elastic sealing strip 3 via top bolts 4. The side water-stop mechanism includes a side elastic sealing strip 6, which is fixed to the inner wall of the curved panel 1 near the side elastic sealing strip 6 via side bolts 7. The bottom water-stop mechanism includes a bottom elastic sealing strip 8, which is fixed to the inner wall of the curved panel 1 near the bottom elastic sealing strip 8 via bottom bolts 9.

[0026] A temperature sensor and a temperature controller are provided in the control box 11. When the temperature sensor in the control box detects that the ambient temperature is below zero, the temperature sensor immediately sends a signal to the temperature controller, and the temperature controller controls the multiple heating cables to generate heat.

[0027] The heating cables 10 are evenly arranged between the plurality of reinforcing ribs 2 . The heating cables 10 are installed on the curved panel 1 in a serpentine manner, thereby improving the uniformity of heating and de-icing.

[0028] During use, when the ambient temperature is below zero, varying degrees of ice will form at the top water stop mechanism, the side water stop mechanism, and the bottom water stop mechanism. When the temperature sensor in the control box 11 detects that the ambient temperature is below zero, the temperature sensor immediately sends a signal to the temperature controller, which controls the multiple heating cables 10 to generate heat. The heat generated by the heating cables 10 is transferred to the top water stop mechanism, the side water stop mechanism, and the bottom water stop mechanism through the curved panel 1. The multiple evenly distributed mineral heat pipes 5 at the top water stop mechanism, the side water stop mechanism, and the bottom water stop mechanism perform a heat cycle. In the evaporation section of the mineral heat pipe 5, the working liquid in the tube core evaporates due to the heat, and takes away heat, which is the latent heat of evaporation of the working liquid. The steam flows from the central channel to the condensation section of the heat pipe, condenses into liquid, and releases latent heat at the same time. Under the action of capillary force, the liquid flows back to the evaporation section. In this way, a closed cycle is completed, thereby transferring a large amount of heat from the heating section to the heat dissipation section, so that the de-icing work at the top water-stop mechanism, the side water-stop mechanism and the bottom water-stop mechanism can be completed quickly. Not only can de-icing be carried out continuously to prevent re-freezing after de-icing, but the efficiency of heating de-icing is also high, reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
